    Elderflower Spritz-image

    Elderflower Spritz

    This delicate spring-cocktail certainly delivers on its floral promise, sporting a beautiful bouquet of elderflower notes with a refreshing prosecco sparkle. Our Spritz owes its spirit to the fragrant Bols Elderflower liqueur, which is made from the honey-scented blossoms of the elder tree. Sounds like a fairytale, right? Well, this tipple surely makes you dream of a midsummer’s night...liqueur and Bols Genever Original form a beautiful marriage in this cocktail. The Elderflower Spritz is the perfect spring cocktail and easy to create at home!

    Margarita Azul-image

    Margarita Azul

    Tangy, refreshing and blue as the day is long. Arguably one of the world’s most famous cocktails, found in many different colors, shapes and sizes. Our version is of the blue kind, and carries the taste of aromatic oranges. A little confusing, but don’t be fooled, this Margarita means business. It is made with our beloved Blue Curaçao, lime and a good splash of tequila. It is meant for sunny days with friends, music and a splash in the pool!

    Espresso Martini-image

    Espresso Martini

    Rich and creamy with a hint of dark roast. A Martini so smooth, it will charm the cream off your espresso. It is said that the Espresso Martini find its origin in a 1980’s London bar, when a young supermodel asked a bartender to ‘wake me up and f*ck me up’. The bartender was cocktail-legend Dick Bradsell. The supermodel, eledgetly, none other than Miss Naomi Campbell. To this day, the iconically smooth and creamy cocktail remains one of the most popular digestives in the world. The best part? You’ll whip it up in a jiff.

    Pornstar Martini-image

    Pornstar Martini

    Exotic, fresh, fruity and, sure, a bit of a showpony. Rightfully so we would say, because the Pornstar Martini will lighten up evenings and moods alike. Ours is made with Bols Vodka, Passoã, Bols Vanilla and lime, with a traditional shot of prosecco on the side. Adorn it with half a passionfruit and watch the festivities unfold.

    Red Light Negroni-image

    Red Light Negroni

    Bittersweet and beautifully complex. This Negroni is lined with botanicals and orange, with a smooth malty finish. Those who have fallen victim to the charms of this true Italian staple know it’s all about the delicate balance of flavors. Amsterdam might have a slightly less subtle reputation, but its rough-edged beauty and cut-to-the-chase mentality are admired by people far and wide. Our Red Light Negroni is an ode to two cultures, a perfectly complex mix of bitter, malty, sweet and fruity notes.

    Ginger Mule-image

    Ginger Mule

    Spicy, full-bodied and endlessly refreshing, meet our take on the classic Mule. Its bold ginger notes are beautifully complemented by the soft, malty palate of our Bols Genever Original. Serve in a copper mug over ice with a fresh lime wheel and let this mule seduce you. Don’t worry, it won’t bite!
